Abstract: | In proteomics, nanoflow multidimensional chromatography is now the gold standard for the separation of complex mixtures of
peptides as generated by in-solution digestion of whole-cell lysates. Ideally, the different stationary phases used in multidimensional
chromatography should provide orthogonal separation characteristics. For this reason, the combination of strong cation exchange
chromatography (SCX) and reversed-phase (RP) chromatography is the most widely used combination for the separation of peptides.
Here, we review the potential of hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) as a separation tool in the multidimensional
separation of peptides in proteomics applications. Recent work has revealed that HILIC may provide an excellent alternative
to SCX, possessing several advantages in the area of separation power and targeted analysis of protein post-translational
modifications.
